I believe that the abilty Assassin should b a move like an assassination move like a 1500 dmage or stun the enemy....im 29 and getting pissed off of ppl justed keep following me when i'm running away so a good kinda ninja star (200 damage + stun) would b awesome cause ppl keep finding ways to get outta neuro dart and damaging throw (kinfe) plz read Devs!

a dev reading this would think
u had never heard of bulldog (lvl 42 assassin abil, base 1750 damage)
and reverse bulldog (lvl 46, 100% chance stun)



then the dev would prolly shake his head sadly and possibly sigh. :robotsad:

i understand that but when i PvP i go topsy turny than punt than spin throw i can't finish the **bleep** combo cause he has hacker buddies by the time i get him with punt.... an assassin is a stealth killer.....it takes like 30 seconds to kill someone and they no u there as soon as u stun them....than they go call there friends blah blah blah.....

If they put something like a one hit kill in there would be no hope for anyone living.... Everyone would go to that tree and everyone would die without a chance of leaving a camped hardline...

Yes but then we have our operators who according to the instructing book find whats killing you and block it off. Also it says we can't lose limps in the matrix.. So slitting your throat is useless.

Do you think this is air youre breading?



It is the matrix, so you know that when you get hit by a knife, it is
only a virtual knife.... it is all in your head, and this is the ranged
damage resistance.



I had done the spy tree too, from lvl2 to lvl50. But the spy class is
an support class, like a guirilia fighter (I dont know the correct name
SMILEY )

The biggest problem that I have is the evade combat shild. When I am
stealthed and doin pvp with some friends, Im only looking for ppl who
has no shild, but if there is no one without an shild I cant help :/

If I try to destroy the ecs I get vissible and the only thing I can do
is run away, try to get invissible again come back and see that the one
has his ecs back again SMILEY



So, for pvp, you need some others, best is MAs, to get the ecs down from others.

bout the sheilds i have a tactic...w8 for 1 all alone (as assassins always do) than break it...if u get him while he's running he won't notice at first til u get him with reverse bulldog or topsy turny...than finish him with bulldog (sept i'm lvl 30 dont no if this tactic is perfect....but better than walking in a group of hackers and break one sheild with the next second ur dead)

true...but being an assassin is also about being selective in how you pick your targets and how you fight.  Running into the middle of a PVP battle with a single target to hit with Bulldog will most likely get you killed every time.  You're a different kind of damage dealer.  You don't stand around and chip away like the rest of the operatives do....you find a target that you can safely attack...deal massive damage...and then get out and run as fast as you can, so you can re-invisi.   If you stick around, you don't stand a chance at fighting against the potential hackers and operatives that are surrounding you.

 

Being a spy assassin/shadow is about being elusive....hard to get to...hard to find...hard to kill....

If it's just you against one hacker...the hacker is dead meat provided he has no shield up. (If you bounce off the shield, you could be stunned and then you're dead meat).

But if you're going to try to take a bunch of hackers on, or there's lots of them around...you have no chance...actually no one has a chance against multiple hackers.

 

Basically, if you manage to get a hit in on a hacker...hit him with reverse bulldog first.  That will stun him.  Exit interlock, back up a little bit...put on a disguise (you can run faster when disguised), and then run behind the stunned hacker and hit him with regular bulldog.  Can't say for sure, but that should honestly take him out.

a few suggestions


1 - level 42 bulldog 1,750. at level 50 i can get the damage up to 2,500 .


2 - for now, get a few MA friends. get them to pop evades for you and help them out by using Suplex, which causes off balanced and staggered so a high level MA friend can use KI Charged Foot Sweep, or Topsy Turvy, which causes Pacified so A) hackers can't hack B) people can't get out of it unless they blow their money on the 500k pill
